Email lagging behind by 2-3 hours today (SPAM attack)
June 9, 2010 – 1:09 pmJust a general notice to DecaTech clients that we have been under an internet-wide SPAM attack today, and the server has been running a couple of hours behind due to this.
I’ve put a few specific blockers in place that have helped, and email is starting to catch up again to real-time activity.
If you are interested, this specific issue seems to be generating the majority of the attack:

Also, our apologies for any confusion that the last couple of Blog notice emails sent out earlier this week may have caused. Both were blog posts from a month or more ago, but the outgoing notification messages were blocked due to a technical issue with the blog software.
